1. TIMELESS

The perpetual winds of eternity
Have driven me to insanity
The curse of immortality
Makes these depths seem boundless

Timeless tides flow over me
As I lay below the surface
Soon the world will forget me
But still I wait

I await redemption
Release from my grave

My resting place
My sanctuary
Alone I watch the ages pass
Biding my time until mankind has died
The earth will be mine
Once again

I await redemption
Release from my grave

The endless ocean above me
Maintains the constant silence
My time will come again
When I will rise
I have transcended mortality
I have abandoned morality
The waves roll over me eternally
For I will find no peace

I await redemption
Release from my grave


2. ETERNAL CATACLYSM

An expanding vortex
Leading to nothingness
Will be opened as the planets align
The end is near, the people cry
The time has come for us to die

Buildings are torn from their foundations
As they disappear into the sky
Centuries of evolution
Are erased before our eyes

An expanding vortex
Leading to nothingness
Will be opened as the planets align
The end is near, the people cry
The time has come for us to die


3. IN THE WORDLESS CHAMBER (EMPEROR COVER)

In the wordless chamber
They feared death
Desperately
Thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
Craving diversion
As if to avoid knowing why

In the wordless chamber
They feared life
Desperately
Thus they proclaimed any given truth
And swallowed
As if to justify their fear

He knew that there had been hordes of seers
Before him
Who set out to cure
Though, the sick wished not to part with
Their decease
As if it made them feel
Alive

In the wordless chamber
He accepted desperation
And the unpredictable manifestations
Of hope
